I didn't really want to respond to Mike's mail, since I was hoping that 
I was misreading the implications. But unfortunately, I read the page 
the same way you do.

To me it sounds (if we want to stay in line with the terms of use with 
SF), that we either do that (but then, what actually _is_ a "binary 
releases made via our File Release System or any other project resource" 
- to me, it sounds like there'd have to be a new source tarball for 
every new package checked into CVS and made available via the packages 
page - if there is one for Bering uClibc 4 - if not, I guess one could 
argue that if CVS isn't good enough for providing source code, it 
doesn't qualify as a binary release either. But I'm not a lawyer....), 
or look for some other means of hosting the source and binaries.

Tough call - to me, "any binary releases made..." sounds like everything 
that's part of the binary release. So, kernel, yes, for sure (IMHO), 
some support libs, that are just needed for the build process, probably 
not. But drawing the line might be difficult.

Just my two cents

Martin
